Hapé (also spelled rapé) is a sacred, powdered s***f traditionally used by Indigenous tribes of the Amazon for spiritual, ceremonial, and medicinal purposes.
It is made from mapacho (Amazonian to***co) blended with alkaline plant ashes, tree barks, roots, seeds, and medicinal plants. Each tribe and lineage carries its own recipes, prayers, and intentions, making every hapé blend unique in its spirit and effect.
How Hapé Is Used
Hapé is not smoked. It is administered by blowing a small amount of the powder into the nostrils using a special pipe called a kuripe (self-application) or tepi (administered by another person). The application is intentional and ceremonial, often accompanied by prayer or meditation.
Why People Use Hapé
Hapé is commonly used to:
Clear mental and emotional fog
Ground the body and calm the nervous system
Support focus, presence, and meditation
Release stagnant energy
Deepen connection to nature, spirit, and self
Many people experience an immediate sense of clarity, stillness, and grounding, making hapé a powerful ally for daily ritual, prayer, or ceremonial work.
Used with respect and intention, hapé is considered a plant teacher—helping bring balance, awareness, and alignment.
